Reel 233, Item 4
Ever of thee,
I am fondly dreaming,
Thy gentle voice,
My spirit can share,
Thou art the star,
That mildly beaming,
Shone o'er my path,
When all was dark and drear.
Years could not chew,
The love that I've cherished,
Every fond thought like a bird,
Flies to thee,
No never till I,
And memories perish,
Can I forget,
How dear thou art to me.
Morn, noon, and night,
My dream shall bee,
Fondly I'm dreaming,
Ever of thee.
Ever of thee,
When sad and lonely,
Wandering afar,
My soul joyed to dwell.
Ah, then I knew,
That I loved thee only,
All seemed to fade,
Before affections spell.
Years could not chill the love that,
I've cherished,
Every fond thought like,
A bird flies to thee.
No never till I
And memories perish,
Can I forget
How dear thou art to me.
Morn, noon and night,
My dream shall be,
Fondly I'm dreaming,
Ever of thee.
